As we carefully step into 2022, we celebrate our successes and look optimistically to the future. Our newest venture is writing a monthly, mission-focused blog about our programs and community connection. Welcome to our first post of the year!
Exactly 582,555 ounces of safely pasteurized donor milk were dispensed to hospitals and outpatient families throughout the Pacific Northwest in 2021. A 32% increase, despite the continued challenges of the pandemic and subsequent strain on healthcare systems. Northwest Mothers Milk Bank (NWMMB) was able to meet the demand. This could not have been accomplished without the tremendous support of 846 milk donors – amazing community members who were willing to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable infants.
“Being able to produce milk and recognize it’s life-saving properties is remarkable. Parents who are willing to donate milk that is not needed for their own infants are true heroes. Our staff values every drop of milk, making sure it reaches the babies who need it the most.”
— Lesley Mondeaux, Executive Director
This year donor milk from our bank touched many families across Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. In most cases babies with serious diagnoses ranging from prematurity, surgical complications, cancer, and rare genetic disorders received donor milk. Families dealing with COVID-19 complications, maternal cancer and HIV were also recipients. Occasionally, families need just a small volume of milk until lactation is established.
NWMMB is a proud member of The Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA). This network of nonprofit milk banks distributed nearly 9.2 million ounces in 2021, a 22% increase since 2020. The growth and collective power of HMBANA milk banks is amazing.
The information about this milk bank is fantastic. To celebrate a day full of good news, I decided to play a few rounds of Unblocked Games. Relaxing entertainment is the best way to enjoy these meaningful moments.
I’m especially moved by the acknowledgement of the 846 donors who made that possible. Their generosity really does save lives — particularly for kinda hard golf premature or medically fragile babies who depend on donor milk.
